Conversation
Two
W:
Well,
before we decide
we’re
going
tolive in Enderby, we really ought to
h
ave a look at theschools; we want
thechildren to have a good secondary
educ
ation, so
we’d
better
seewhat’savailable.
M:
They gave me some
information at thedistrict office and I took
notes. It ap
pears there arefive
secondary schoolsin Enderby: three state schools
and two
private.
W:
I
don’t
know if we want
private schools,do we?
M:
I
don’t
think so, but
we’ll
look at themanyway.
There’s
Saint
Mary’s,
that’s
a Catholic schoolfor
girls, and CarltonAbbey
—
that’s
a very old
boys’
boardin
g
school, founded in 1672.
W:
Are all the state schools coeducational?
M:
Yes, it seems so.
W:
I think little Keith is
going to be verygood with his hands, we ought to
sen
d him to a schoolwith good vocationa
ltraining
—
carpentry,
electronics, that sor
t of thing.
M:
In that case we are best
off at EnderbyComprehensive. I
gather
they hav
e
excellentworkshops and instructors. But itsays
here that Donwell also has g
ood
facilities. Enderby Highhas a little, butthey are
mostly
academic
. No
voc
ational
training at all at Carlton Abbey
orSaintMary’s.
W:
What are the schools like
academically? Howmany children go on to
unive
rsity every year?
